FOR MENTORS

» view course descriptions

Preparation is very important to a mentoring relationship. To assist you with this, we offer Mentoring 101: What Every Mentor Should Know. We'll answer your questions about mentoring and help you understand what to expect as a mentor.

Ongoing training is equally important, therefore, we encourage volunteers to take advantage of the advanced training opportunities that we provide. Do you have questions about mentoring and diversity, values and their impact on the mentoring relationship? How about communication or building a positive relationship with your mentee? Or what type of cool activities can you and your mentee do together? Training sessions on these topics are offered quarterly.

Lunch and Learn

Let's do lunch and talk about the rewards of mentoring. Learn what it means to be a mentor and how to get the most out of it. We'll even dispel a few myths along the way. This is a great way for your organization or company to bring people together... they can bring their lunch or you can have lunch prepared for them. Interested?
